1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe prognostic value of tumor deposit (TD) in gastric cancer is controversial. This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of TD.

methodsThe consecutive patients diagnosed with gastric cancer from October 2007 to October 2012 were selected. The patients were divided by whether they suffered TD into two groups. The basic data were comparable between the two groups after propensity score matching (PSM), then survival analysis [overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS)] was applied in two groups. After that, all the patients were divided by pN staging and survival analysis were applied in each subgroup. At last, all patients were divided into TD group, pN1 stage group, pN2 stage group, pN3a, and pN3b stage group, OS and CSS were compared between them. Multivariable competing risk analyses tested association of TD with OS and CSS, before and after PSM.

resultsEight hundred and three patients were concluded. After PSM, 137 patients with TD and 274 patients without TD were selected, the 5-year OS and CSS rates of patients with TD were significantly worse than patients without TD (OS: 19.7%

conclusionsTD has a marked impact on the prognosis of gastric cancer. Even patients with TD had the same prognosis with pN3 stage.
